What is the problem you found?

It is very easy to get distracted online which leads to procrastination. This can lead to not getting work done and giving up on school. We want to increase productivity and focus on working to get better grades as well as more structure. 

What is your opportunity?

How can we remind people to do their work and turn up (at school and activities) in a fun and not serious way?

Who is your audience?

We are focused on students in grades 7-12 but it can really be anybody who gets side-tracked or who procrastinates easily. This means it can range from grade 7 to University as well as teachers or the workplace.

What Is Your Solution?

To create an app/chrome extension that sets reminders to follow so that you do your work/activities without procrastinating. This is done by alarms from Reminder Man, the mascot, who tells you how long until your work is due or when to study. The work you need to do can be downloaded from school platforms or teams/zoom if you pay for the phone app, otherwise, you can manually download it in the free version.
